Q. Anyone know a good site where I can print out flash cards to show how each piece moves? It's for a 5 year old. Thanks.
I am teaching my niece. She watches me play online and she wants to learn. I don't think 5 is too young; I learned when I was 6 or 7.
And thanks to the 3 who answered so far.

Even better....
Toys-R-Us has a learning chess set. It's really nice. On the back of each piece on its base there is a diagram of how that piece moves.
Also, Staples has an excellent computer game called "Majestic Chess" for $10. The "story mode" introduces the new player to the board, and the pieces and then has a quiz on what you've learned. If you answer the questions correctly, you are awarded a new chess piece to play with in the next challenge. It is the most fun way to learn the game that I've seen. You are actually building a chess army as you progress through the story mode and as you earn new pieces, you will be challenged to put them to work on the board. Your challenge may be just to capture a pawn, a rook, or another piece. But eventually, it will challenge you to checkmate the king. An excellent, well-thought-out teaching tool.
I'm excited that your 5 yr. old is learning chess! It's a magnificent game and will give a lifetime of enjoyment. My co-workers and I love playing as we work. (We pass around this really cool magnetic chess "wallet" so the boss won't see! Sh-h-h-h!)
Also, if you child has a Gameboy Advance or a Nintendo DS, there is a wonderful cartridge for it called "Virtual Kasparov". Great fun you can take with you on the go! (You may have to search online for it...it's hard to find, but well worth it.) It plays easy to beat chess games as well as harder ones.
Good luck! I hope this helps! Maybe your child will be the next Garry Kasparov or Judit Polgar (if a girl.)

If a kid does not appreciate a toy, is there any other way to teach her?
Mick
to appreciate it other than taking the toy away from her?
Answer
I would make the kid take the toy to goodwill, or salvation army where a less privileged child could appreciate the toy! Explain it all to your child, and make them hand it over at the donation site. It might make them appreciate their toys more, and take care of them better.
